Just out of curiosity, how many people on list have any programming
knowledge? I'd be interested in finding out, just as a bit of exploratory
research.  Note that by "programming knowledge" I'm including things like
scripting languages as well as full-fledged application languages
(JavaScript, VBScript, PHP, Perl, C, Java, Pascal, FORTRAN, VisualBasic - I
suppose even old Basic - etc.), but not markup languages like HTML, XML,
CSS, SGML, or TeX.  Feel free to send me an e-mail offlist.

NOTE: This has *nothing* to do with Suda On Line or any other projects I may
have mentioned on the list.  It's just a matter of personal interest.

P. T. Rourke, who knows JavaScript, a little Perl, Basic, and a little COBOL
from a long, long time ago and promised himself he'd never look at a COBOL
program again as long as he lives
